◎ Aussehen

Deep red-brown hue with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head. The carbonation level is moderate, supporting fine foam that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The colour reflects the rich Special B malt used in the grist.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced caramel sweetness balanced by noble hop aromatics from the Hallertauer Mittelfrüh. A subtle thread of coriander runs through, adding herbal complexity without dominating. Underpinning notes of yeast and bread grain complete the profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate displays firm caramel character in the entry, transitioning to warming spice mid-palate where the coriander becomes tactile. Bitterness is restrained at 20 IBU, allowing the malty foundation to remain prominent while noble hops provide a crisp, dry counterpoint. The 8% ABV is well integrated, creating a full-bodied impression without heat.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium-length and dry, with the spice fading into a subtle fruity echo. The aftertaste remains clean and slightly peppery, leaving an impression of noble hops and fermentation character.
